Template:1930 college football independents records The 1930 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team represented the University of Notre Dame during the 1930 college football season. The independent Irish won all ten games, outscored its opponents 256 to 74 with three shutouts, and repeated as national champions.
The new Notre Dame Stadium made its debut on October 4,[1][2] and was dedicated the next week.[3] The closest game was a one-point win in late November over previously undefeated Army; the Irish won 7–6 at Soldier Field in Chicago with over 100,000 in attendance.[4][5][6] This rivalry game was usually played in New York City. A week later in Los Angeles, Notre Dame shut out once-beaten USC 27–0 for their nineteenth consecutive victory.[7][8]
This was the thirteenth and final season for Knute Rockne as head coach; he was killed in a plane crash the following spring.[9][10][11]
